About other gods-question for theists

[FatAndFaithless]

What event or happening that you can show to be outside yourself gave you the belief. As far as I can tell from what you say, you looked inside, saw god and then declared god to be an external force. What specifically happened outside of your head to give you belief in god?

The Bible.

For example, please explain when Jesus was actually born since Matthew claims that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great but Luke claims that Jesus was born during the census of Quirinius (6-7 CE) which is ten years after Herod died in 4 BCE. Was he born twice?

The genealogies for Jesus in Mathew and Luke are so different that they hardly contain a single name in common. Further both are through Joseph which makes no sense at all if Jesus were born of a virgin. --apologists suggest that one of those genealogies was Mary's but that's not what either gospel says.

I will get back to you on this.

Name one prophesy clearly stated in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New Testament. Give me the verses.

Daniel 9:25-26

OK, clarify. Let's see your syllogism. Don't just say I haven't gotten yours right. Supply yours.

You asked why believe the Bible over the Koran (or the book of mormon). I responded that the Koran asserts that the Biblical God is true, then goes on to deny Him. It is due to this logical inconsistency that I would choose Christianity.

Islam says the Biblical God is the true God.
The Biblical God says Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Islam says that God has no son.

The above set of propositions is a logical inconsistency. Therefore I would choose Christianity over Islam.

I'm not going to bother debunking your argument, the whole conversation was about you saying 'The bible is right, therefore the christian god exists and christianity is right'

Not you too?

I answered the question asked in post #22 in post #21. This is the conversation we are having. Reread post #21.

The question isn't: Why choose God over no god, but rather: why choose Christianity over the koran or the book of mormon? Your assertion addresses the former, we are talking about the latter.

If you're going to bring up the consistency argument as one of the reasons you 'chose' Christianity over Mormonism or Islam, I'm going to have to bring up Judaism again. There are explciit contradictions between the Old and New Testament inside your supposedly internally consistent choice of faith. The Torah at least doesn't have all that extra messiah crap thrown on. If consistency is the reason you're stating for choosing your faith over others, why not 'choose' Judaism?
